点评:Came for a Polar Express train ride. We arrived early to do the museum itself, and I'm so glad we did. If it had just been us adults, it is quite a small museum and we would have finished pretty quickly - but with 2 7-year olds, we spent a good 20 mins playing in each little display area. The kids LOVED all of the interactive exhibits. Very fun. I will say - we only saw one other group go through during our visit - if it had been crowded it would have been less pleasant. As the museum is in train cars, its quite a tight fit ...and the kids really wanted to sit and play, so having other guests in the same space would have been much less fun for them.
The other odd thing was we didn't realize there was a bathroom at the very end, so when someone had to pee, we went all the way back to the beginning and out. On our way back in my mother got stopped, and since I had the kids and the tickets, and had already went back into the museum cars area, she had kind of an awkward exchange with the ticket-checker. He acted like he wasn't going to let her in, as if she hadn't paid. But he hadn't stopped me with the kids, for me to tell him I had her ticket or anything...
As far as our Polar Express ride went - the kids really loved it. They played games, & met Santa, and it was a good long trip.
翻译:我们来这里是为了体验极地特快列车之旅。我们提前到达,以便参观博物馆本身,我很高兴我们这么做了。如果只有我们几个大人,博物馆其实很小,我们很快就能逛完——但带着两个7岁的孩子,我们在每个小展区都玩了足足20分钟。孩子们非常喜欢所有的互动展品。真的很有趣。我想说的是,在我们参观期间,只看到另一组游客——如果人多的话,体验可能就没那么好了。因为博物馆设在火车车厢里,空间比较紧凑……孩子们只想坐下来玩,所以如果和其他游客挤在同一个空间里,他们的乐趣就会大打折扣。
还有一件奇怪的事,我们没注意到最后面有个洗手间,所以当有人想上厕所的时候,我们不得不走回头路再出去。回程途中,我母亲被拦了下来。由于我带着孩子,拿着票,而且已经回到了博物馆车厢区域,所以她和检票员之间发生了一些尴尬的对话。他表现得好像不打算让她进去,好像她没付钱似的。但他并没有拦住我和孩子们,让我有机会告诉他我拿着她的票什么的……
至于我们的“极地特快”之旅——孩子们真的非常喜欢。他们玩游戏,见到了圣诞老人,而且这是一次很棒的长途旅行。
